"Fall into Milton takes the place of former Governor's Day celebrations," said co-organizer Kathryn Greig. "A group of businesses and local organizations wanted to offer a fun fall event for the community. So, we decided to plan a fall festival featuring food, activities for kids, historical attractions, and other seasonal pastimes, which would be fun for the town and visitors."

The festival takes place in downtown Milton at the corner of Magnolia and Union Streets near the Lydia Black Cannon Museum at 210 Union St. Fun fall fare like autumnal soups, pulled pork, baked goods, beef stew with biscuits, coffee and hot cider will be available for sale alongside some traditional festival offerings. The food will be provided by Irish Eyes, Milton Economic Development Committee, and Milton resident Myra Oates.
